A new podcast series, 30 & Thriving, is looking to shed light on the real stories behind some of the most influential young entrepreneurs of our time.
Often, success is portrayed as requiring an unattainable combination of wealth, connections, and luck. This podcast aims to dispel such myths and reveal the human aspect of entrepreneurial success.
Launching on 18th July, 30 & Thriving features in-depth conversations with Forbes 30 Under 30 entrepreneurs. The series is hosted by Alberto Zandi, a Forbes 30 Under 30 honouree and co-founder of Emerald Hospitality Group, one of the UK’s fastest-growing private companies according to The Sunday Times. After building a successful enterprise that employs over 300 people, Zandi realised the need for authentic narratives that truly showcase the real journeys of entrepreneurship.
“People have a tendency to view successful entrepreneurs almost as mythical creatures, or lucky ones who took a shortcut to success. But the truth is that we’re very much human, and the road to success is never a simple, constant linear journey,” Zandi says.
Real Journeys of Entrepreneurship
Each episode of 30 & Thriving features exclusive conversations with Forbes 30 Under 30 members, reflecting on their journeys through challenges, triumphs, and lessons learned. Listeners will gain insights into the entrepreneurial mindset, behind-the-scenes struggles, and pivotal moments that defined these young leaders’ paths to success.
Zandi adds, “Each of our guests had to overcome struggles, setbacks, and even self-doubt. I can’t wait to delve into how every one of them found different ways to clear those hurdles and show the public the human side of entrepreneurship. To tell these stories is to educate and inspire others – any of our listeners may very well be the next one to make it to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list.”
